Topic: Cover art won't go away (Read 794 times)

I used the import-attributes-from-amazon feature a while back, and somehow due to my screwing with things alot of my cover art got assigned to the wrong mp3s. Due to the large amount of incorrectly assigned art, I've decided I want to start again with assigning cover art.

I've done the following:

1) moved all my mp3s out of the /home/public/data/audio directory into a temporary directory.2) cleared the pluto_media table as instructed in http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=6408.03) deleted all .id3 files from the temporary directory4) deleted all files contained in /home/mediapics and /home/coverartscan5) using mediamonkey tagging software, removed all album art from all mp3s in the temporary directory6) moved mp3s back into /home/public/data/audio7) ran resynchronize media from the web admin

Turns out, that if I turn off "update media daemon", move the file out to a temp directory, resynchronize via web-admin, delete files not in database via web-admin, remove the coverart using mediamonkey, wipe all Id3v1 and Id3v2 tags using mediamonkey, resynchronize tags to mediamonkey's database, move the file back to the /audio directory, resynchronize via web-admin, it works.

(At least it did with one mp3. I'm going to try the above process for my whole library next).
